These studies that whet the appetite for 'sin secrets' are entertaining, but that's about it. I favor reductionism. Maybe it's not forced brain evolution or African-plain-life recreation. Maybe it's because when you drink you tend to eat less, which is, good.



The only inherent advantage in eating less is getting fewer calories; alcohol has a substantial number of calories itself, so no benefit there.


Also, I think that studies (and my own experience) have shown that alcohol increases the amount you eat anyway.
